“Last month our flight to Portland was delayed a considerable amount of time due to weather issues and it looked as though we would not be able to make our 5p.m. reservation. My daughter called from the tarmac in Boston where we were rerouted and refueled and explained the situation. The hostess, Susie, was very understanding and compassionate And said that even though our table was booked for another party a 7, we should come in and she would see what she could do. We got there late but Susie greeted us warmly and told us not to worry about being rushed that she had arranged things so no one would be inconvenienced. The atmosphere was warm and cozy; the food so very delicious and our waitperson, Anika, was the best. Atmosphere, impeccable service, food and warmth all rate 5 stars and another visit next time we are in Portland.“

We were so lucky that coincided with a special 3-course lobster meal which we both ordered and loved from start with lobster croquettes to lobster pasta to the desserts. We added the tempura green beans to the appetizers which were so specially delicious. A cold bottle of their spanish cava complimented the food. Our waiter Yajia was friendly and helpful. The restaurant is a delight to sit in and look at. All in all a wonderful, memorable start to our trip.“

“My gf and I were in Portland today and saw Tomaso’s … We were hungry but didn’t know what to think at first.. so we checked out the reviews before going in.. let me just say. The reviews about how delicious the Steak and Cheese Sub and Dump Truck Fries are worth the hype!! Sooooo Good!! It’s a cozy venue with a very pleasant and attentive staff! We went in hungry and left happy and very satisfied ! This place is definitely worth the visit!“

“karaoke Wednesday and Thursday nights. Very chill people to hang around with, my favorite place in town to have some beers!“

“What a great find! We were familiar with the hotel's outdoor restaurant but had never dined inside The Armory before. We sat at the bar, although there is table seating as well. In fact, we enjoyed ourselves so much we went back a second night! Staff was wonderful! Warm and engaging, but never overbearing. Shout out to bartenders Maddie and Jackie, and to the chefs, who delivered delicious meals both nights. The Caesar salad was just perfect; the best we've had in a long time. Appetizers were generous and a cut above normal starters. Salmon was cooked to perfection the first night by chef Andy. Shrimp and duck were top notch the next night and chef George even came out to check on us and discuss his flavors. We will definitely be dining at The Armory again!“

“Such a fun and relaxing experience. I highly recommend!!!“

“Great cocktails, food, and atmosphere! We will be back!“

“Made dinner reservations for last night. My husband had the fried haddock dinner and I had steak tips.

The steak tips were amazingly, tender and flavorful, and cooked perfectly well. They came with a side of delicious mashed potatoes.
My husband said the fish was great.
We didn’t have cocktails we just got some local beer, Tubular, which was delicious.

I have to say if the meals continue to be this good we will continue to come to this restaurant.“

“Awesome place, such a cool vibe in the building.“

“Rivalries has always been one of my favorite spots, especially in the summertime. Whether I’m hanging out on the deck, stopping by for lunch, or watching a Boston sports game with friends, it’s always a great time. The food may be classic pub style, but it’s pub style on steroids—I’ve never had a bad meal here.

Lance, the owner, is often around and genuinely takes time to check in on guests, which is a great touch. But the real star of the staff is Jen, the head manager. She’s absolutely phenomenal to work with, especially when it comes to planning a function. Whether it’s a small family gathering or a larger group event, Jen’s professionalism, experience, and friendly approach make the whole process easy—and even fun.

They truly do a great job all around, and I always look forward to coming back.“

“I am sure Councilman Dion and Mrs Dion were just having an off night - my wife and Granddaughter and I had dinner on Friday night and my veal parmigiana was awesome and my wife’s asparagus and Gorgonzola ravioli was as great ! Jim our waiter must have lit the table candle 50 times for my granddaughter to keep blowing it out ! Brunos rocks !“

“Best of everything in Portland! Best food, great staff, and the music is best in Town!!“

“Visited Saturday night. Delicious food at good prices. Great service. Relaxed atmosphere.“

“Our first time family dining experience since this restaurant has changed ownership to Foreside Tavern. A wonderful experience, expert service, a terrific menu and delicious food. I was especially impressed with my Thai Salmon sandwich! The salmon was definitely fresh.! Protions were over the top family sized so we had plenty of wonderful take home to enjoy again. We will return. Also, other families were being seated while we were there. Thanks to all the wonderful Foreside Tavern staff for making our visit memorably delicious.“

“My company Hager Photography had the absolute pleasure of photographing a wedding reception here at The Harraseeket Inn this summer and it was AMAZING. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a true New England wedding experience. The Harraseeket Inn is such a unique venue! It's a great space and a great location! You can't go wrong booking your wedding here.“

“I ordered to go after 12 hour work day, I was wiped out.
Kelly was the best. She watched for my car to show up, I only waited for seconds before she stepped out of the restaurant with my bill. I paid up and she was back at my car with my food. BEST SERVICE. THANKS“
